The National Monuments Service's description
Within a ringfort (GA016-099----). Apart from three stones protruding above ground level, which may possibly have been grave-markers, no visible surface trace survives. A mass rock now occupies the centre of the rath; roughly rectangular in ground plan (L 2.35m, Wth 1.25m), it was rediscovered while draining the nearby Lough Altore, after which it was brought to its present location.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
